Tutorial: Thanksgiving 2015

It’s that time of year where we in America give thanks. Some iffy history aside, there’s much to be thankful for. Personally, I would like to give thanks to everyone who left such supportive comments on my last blog post about my one year blog-aversary! Again, all of this would not be possible without you guys, so thank you all so, so much. I don’t I’ll ever be able to express my love and gratitude.

With this spirit in mind I wanted to put together an awesome and glamorous autumn tutorial that you could wear to Thanksgiving dinner- and well, half of that was accomplished. At the moment, I am sick so I wasn’t able to produce the type of quality content and tutorial that I normally do. I even debated not even going forward with this post, but decided to tough it out for you guys. So instead of the glam Thanksgiving face I wanted to put together, here is a quick tutorial to look put together, even if you feel under the weather like I feel at the moment. However, if you do want a full tutorial, you can check out my Fall Lookbook and draw some inspiration from there!

Now, let’s get started!

Face

Prime the face. During the holidays I usually end up taking a lot of photos with my family, so I use my Smashbox Photofinish Primer to smooth everything out for the camera.

Eyes

I applied the yellow toned cream color Free Spirit from the Tartelette palette all over the area with a blending brush to make the shadows blend easier. I will be using the whole top row from the palette for this look.

With a fluffy blending brush, I applied the light medium tan Force of Nature through the crease to set up a base for all of the blending.

With a small pointed crease brush, I began to build up the dimension in the corner using the medium brown shade Dreamer.

To keep things simple, I avoided using liner and went straight to the brows. I used the NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Brunette to fill and shape the brows. Then, to keep them in place I used the gel end of the Pixi Brow Duo to keep stray hairs away.
